Phoenix III is a fast-paced grayscale shoot-em-up game written in pure Z80 assembly language. Ion (or a fully compatible shell) is required to run this game. Features include:

-Grayscale graphics - Unforunately, grayscale flickers somewhat in the TI-83+ version. You can choose to turn it off. -Smooth 29 frame per second gameplay -Scrolling background -Upgrades for your ship -Ability to save the game at any point -High score table -And much more to come in the future! -All in only 7070 bytes of memory!

This game is very simular to Galaga. You a spaceship shooting other shaceships while scrolling through the galaxy (the scrolling is done very well). You can gain 2 powerups, which are firing 2 shots at a time and then firing 3 shots at a time. However, after you can shoot 3 at a time, it's hard to lose. That's when the save system comes in handy. Overall, I think its a great game. Not the best phoenix game out there (however, it takes up the less space that the others), but deffentally worth downlaoding.
